Veratrum An Egoistic Lady
Author - Dr. Ronak J. Shah
Book Review by Dr. Shajikutty (Trivendrum, Kerala)
A book which is indispensable to those who are
interested in Materia Medica , drug picture presentation and it is most
beneficial for a general homoeopath also. Very good &novel presentation of
Veratrum Album picture. Rather than a routine descriptive presentation here we
get a point to point description mixed with the clinical comments of the author.
The book begins with the a brief pharmacological details which is followed by
the mental features & a description of doctrine of signature similarity. The
evolution of the remedy is the most attractive part loaded with information.
This is followed by Diagrammatic representation of the mind spread in two pages.
The comparison of Veratrum. child with that of Tuberculinum & Tarantula gives a
vivid picture of the three children forms in our mat. medica. A compact
representatation of particulars followed by relationship in completes the drug
picture. The varity of cases nine in number depicts the vast understanding of
the author which is another valuable portion for the practitioner. This book is
a must for every student as well as dedicated practitioners.
